Old Economy Steve: A meme for frustrated Millennials

[MarloStanTrill]

Jesus christ. The conversations I used to have with my mom when I could not get a job. She talmbout dressing nice and showing up 15 minutes early.

You know what showing up 15 minutes early to interviews get you nowadays? A 25 minute wait, cause they are busy and they will move you to another
room just to have you wait a few more minutes.

I wish I could just walk into places, tell them I am interested, and be told "Ok, come back Monday." Nowadays you get told *while in the establishment* that

you have to apply online. Not only that, but background checks, unless they rush them, can have you waiting a few weeks for a callback...IF they call you back.

One job I worked, I was hired, but nobody called me back. I had to call in to get the offer for employment

In a lot of ways, the last few generations had it fukking easy. They left a pile of shyt for us 20-30 somethings, and blame us for it

not to mention doing hour long TALEO applications with 100 personality questions asked the same way 5 diferrent times,

only to get an auto reply email 5 minutes later that they are moving on to other candidates...even worsee not hearing anything back at all

Real shyt . Every time I lose something my grandmother tells me pray to Saint Anthony

the patron Saint of finding things or lost people

U need to move to PA or jersey

too expensive here too breh. And job outlook ain't great either. There's a reason why many of us work out of state.

My girl is about to go to law school next year in New York City

I hope its NYU, Columbia or Cornell.
If not

CAC shyt

This ain't nothing new to black folks. fukk these whining ass CACs and their struggles. I have no sympathy for these New Millennium CACs.

You are right...The job search for black men and women is depressingly hard. Small minimum wage jobs do not even like to hire black people.

 

[AB Ziggy]

Should have picked a different field and shouldn't have taken on a shyt load of debt. And my cousin got her law degree but ended up being an accountant cuz no firms were hiring.

.

Where did she go to law school. That's a major factor

 

[AB Ziggy]

I hope its NYU, Columbia or Cornell.
If not

I'm sure there's more law schools than that in NYC. Those three are only the top ones.

That is why im learning forex and investing cuz having a decent paying job and depending on one stream of income isnt enough. Its better to work and have money away being invested so you have two or three streams of incomes. Use your money to make money. That is what my cousin's CPA told me.

You are right...The job search for black men and women is depressingly hard. Small minimum wage jobs do not even like to hire black people.

It's even worse when you have anything on your record

 

[5n0man]

You could get a job bagging groceries right now or you can be a cry baby bum. Which one is the dumb philosophy to you?

How about the fact that you could be making double the minimum wage and still not come close to meeting ends meet.

While, older folk were able to drop out of high school and get a job that paid well enough to take care of a stay at home mom and their three kids while owning a home.

Bagging groceries, you might not even make enough to get to work every day and your most definitely on government assistances, which means tax payers gotta pay the rest of your way.

 

[agnosticlady]

It's even worse when you have anything on your record

Seriously....Even know I am careful who I hang around, engage in, or attend because the slightest thing like a traffic ticket can mess up your record.

 

[#1 pick]

I agree

Let's be real, Blacks didn't have it good then or now

 

[#1 pick]

Yep. Womens "advancement" is destroying the country. These c*nts are celebrating because the wage gape is closing not realizing it's because men are being PAID LESS, NOT WOMEN BEING PAID MORE. These worthless feminist whores are essentially celebrating the decline of wages for half the American population. I can't wait till this country truly collapses. I won't have to get my revenge in private anymore.

Y'all act like Black women didn't have to work back then. I wish y'all would stop taking like white st0rmfr0nt posters

 

[John Hull]

Yeah this meme is for cacs.

shyt been hard if you black, but that's why they hate Obama. The illusion of cac supremacy has faded under his admin. Bush and his bankers kept that shyt going all the way till he got out of office and basically handed the housing collapse to the first black president like "good luck nikka!"

We've got to get in on this Internet Money (and I don't just mean Twitter/Instagram). Start brainstorming a way to make money with your hobbies, get a concept, and a domain name. Having your own server and coding skills help but you don't even need them with websites like Wix out there.

Internet = Minimal overhead (Domain name/Hosting), Tax Dodging potential, Skin-Color Irrelevant, Be Your Own Boss

The US is tapped out on resources. Service jobs are going straight to the toilet over the next decade, I'm trying to get out while I can into something sustainable like the Medical Field until I go Self-Employed Full-Time. The internet is only going to get bigger as developing countries get their hands on smartphones and Laptops.

As far as this topic goes, I'm disappointed in my dad who wasted all of his excess union salary gambling every chance he could get, even to this day he blows his monthly retirement and pension check at the Race Track/Casino (do pensions even exist anymore). Then people look at me funny when I tell them I don't play the powerball or drink/smoke.

True. This is the Age of Internet Hustling. If your a dumbass you won't eat. Only creative/smart people will eat.
